Chapter 35: Sending Money
At the same time, a similar situation occurred at the Badaling Great Wall in the northwest of the capital.
According to the usual rules, every time a bus or car pulling foreign guests stops behind the parking lot at the entrance of the Badaling Great Wall.
These foreign travelers, who have heard the name of the Great Wall for a long time, almost all of them have difficulty maintaining patience.
At the foot of the mountain, they looked at the "Seven Wonders of the Medieval World" from afar, and they were all eager to hurry into the scenic area and climb to the top of the long, winding Great Wall in the distance.
Everyone wants to experience what it's like to enjoy the endless undulating mountain scenery on the Great Wall.
Then you can't wait to crowd at the entrance.
From this day on, the reaction that was so natural changed a little, and the foreign guests did not seem so hurried.
Because as soon as they got out of the car, when their blonde hair and blue eyes were exposed to the sun, their purring "bird song" sounded in a mess.
At the boundary of the parking lot of the scenic spot, it will also cause a chain reaction to attract a commotion and greetings from Beijing films.
Then there are six people carrying different goods, and brightly colored poles are lined up on both sides of the road.
Each of them held a "SALE" sign in their hands, and their faces were full of "Welcome, Welcome, Warm Welcome", like a concierge team, waiting for the arrival of foreign guests.
And because these goods are all handicrafts with national customs, and the sales attitude of these people is relatively rational and civilized, no one is like today's hawkers who are like maggots on tarsal bones to forcibly sell and sell.
This makes foreigners feel very reassured, very relieved, and it is easy to arouse their interest.
As a result, most foreigners pass by and stop with great interest to take a closer look at the goods.
In this way, not only are there many buyers, but there are even many people who take photos with these vendors.
And when these foreigners leave and walk to the vicinity of the ticket office, the enthusiasm for shopping will not fade, but will be promoted to a higher level.
Because in a newly opened simple kiosk, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are more exquisite and interesting goods placed here.
For example, the "stone carved ashtray" in the shape of the Great Wall and the "stone carved flower pot" in the shape of a flower basket are ancient skills and oriental tastes that Westerners can't even imagine.
Such a good thing in your own living room is very chic.
The brick carved door god, because it can reflect the charm and style of the Chinese warriors, in their imagination, there is also a close connection with the military defense nature of the Great Wall.
For this reason, there is no shortage of people who are willing to buy this item back and put it on the bookshelf or hang it on the wall as an ornament.
Needless to say, there will be another wave of generosity that will be even more fervent than the beginning.
Only then will these foreigners be satisfied and continue their normal excursions.
Of course, there are some sane and intelligent people who are not willing to make impulsive purchases and add extra weight to their climbs.
They will only buy what they want when they go down the mountain and leave, depending on their mood.
But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that the tourist goods produced in Longkou Village have become an instant hit and have become the most popular goods that can attract foreign guests here.
And the most commendable thing is that every "international trade" is still carried out in a friendly and harmonious manner.
Regardless of the buyer or the seller, both sides are civilized and polite, and the friendship lasts forever.
It's just that let's say that the reason why these transactions can be so perfect is that there is indeed a certain degree of luck underneath the surface.
I am afraid that this is due to the fact that foreigners are accustomed to being unorganized and undisciplined, and that they are chaotic and noisy on the spot, and that they do not understand Chinese.
Otherwise, if these foreigners can understand what the sellers shout when they see them, most of them will be half angry at the beginning, and they won't buy anything.
Why? Just take a closer look.
No, when a bus opened the door and Hula came down again, the "three jumpers" squatting and smoking in the parking lot urged their subordinates to start work again.
This kid is like a mountain king who robs the road for a living, pointing at the "pink faces" in the distance, regardless of the ground.
"Look, the money is coming, the money is coming, the little ones, go over there and stop it, don't let a stupid foreigner go......"
Divide the money, this is the happiest thing.
On October 7, only three days after the opening, Hong Yanwu took the initiative to send the money that Longkou Village should have received to the door in the car of Bian Jiangong.
It's not that he's deliberately taking care of his relatives, it's because he has to.
The popularity of daring travel products is beyond imagination, and the goods that were originally planned to be sold for at least half a month have been cut off.
During these three days, as it is during the peak tourist season, foreigners' visits are hardly affected by rest days.
The daily sales amount is very good, and the two places can add up to between 6,000 and 7,000.
Because of the remoteness of the Badaling Great Wall, it is about 3,000 to 3,340 pieces per day. Because the Forbidden City is in the center of the city, there are more tourists, between 3,500 and 4,000.
In this way, in three days, they have sold nearly 20,000 yuan, and almost all of them are foreign exchange coupons.
Then, according to the calculation of 40 percent of the distribution ratio, Hong Yanwu made up a whole piece to Longkou Village and sent a full 8,000 yuan.
What does this mean? It shows that Longkou Village has begun to return to its original profits. And if you do this for a month, you can multiply that money tenfold.
80,000 yuan, what is the cost in addition to labor?
After removing the wages of more than 3,000 yuan for 60 people in the factory and a little water, electricity and material consumption, all of them are net profits.
After paying the tax, at least more than 300 households and more than 1,000 people in the village can lose an average of 50 yuan in income.
To be honest, it is enough to feed a village of people with this small factory.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the production capacity has to keep up. And it's a different story when it's in the off-season.
So this is also the reason why Hong Yanwu decided to come here in person.
Time is running out, he is afraid that Longkou Village will not recognize the importance of timing, and it will be too late to make things as soon as it is cold.
I have to say that his arrival is really exciting, and he has not only received the full attention of Secretary An and Zhaoqing.
Once the news leaked, it was a major news for the workers of the entire handicraft factory, and even for other villagers, it was no less than "the death of the great leader" or "the abolition of the people's commune and the implementation of a large contract".
The workers couldn't continue their work, and the villagers who got the news also came one after another, and everyone gathered outside the village branch office.
Men huddled around the glass windows to peer in, while others rode in trees and sat on the wall, looking in from above.
More women, the elderly, and children sat outside the office under the leafy old elm tree, waiting for the latest news and talking about what might happen.
And in the house, looking at the eight stacks of thick banknotes, Secretary An was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
He muttered vigorously, "So much money, so much money, all ours?"
As for Zhaoqing, he was actually worried.
"The palace lamps, the stone baskets and the Great Wall ashtrays are all sold out? There are only about 40 capable people left in the village, and the key is to recruit people, and the key is to sell the best, both of which require technical work. Those people's skills are still poor. I have to ensure the quality first, and the other little things are okay......"
Hong Yanwu frowned, "Cousin, can you think of a way?" For example, can some steps be done by machines, and if the money is not enough, I can pay it." The point is that as soon as the weather is cold, there are fewer tourists, and it is a pity to miss it. ”
Zhaoqing shook his head, "Buying a cutting machine is a way, but it's not in a hurry right now." You can only find a way to ...... from people."
When he said this, he suddenly turned his head and rushed towards Secretary An.
"Dad, can I find someone from the two neighboring villages next to us?
Secretary An listened and nodded.
"yes, that's a way for you. In the past, although the work of repairing the Golden Emperor's Mausoleum was mainly undertaken by our village. But later, this piece was bought by the big families in the city as a cemetery, and there were more grave households. The two neighboring villages are all new grave households, who have learned the art of our village's stonemasons, and later helped us repair the mausoleum. You can ask...... But will the people in our village have an opinion? You don't need to use outsiders for yourself......
When Hong Yanwu heard this, he hurriedly pouted a few words and reassured Secretary An.
"Secretary An, where is this, what's wrong with hiring outsiders? Hiring outsiders, that's also stretching labor for our village, that's Yang Bailao of our entire village. What's more, I know the masses best, and the common people don't know anything, they just know how to obey. With your authority, as long as it is announced in the name of the village committee, no one will object. ”
"Of course, coercion cannot last. But what are you afraid of when you have already earned money? As soon as you announce the amount we have earned in the past few days, we will announce that at the end of the year, the whole village will share a part of the money, and everyone will have a share. Then everyone has benefited, and who can not think of your good? This will not cause damage to your authority. Having said that, only by letting the people get benefits, can they always listen to you and obey your management. Isn't that what we're all about?"
"Well, that makes sense. ”
Secretary An finally came around the bend and couldn't help but sigh.
"His third nephew, you still understand it in your head. In the future, I will be the home of the village, Zhaoqing will be the home of the factory, and you will be our home. Do as you say, and I'll make a statue of you on the top of the mountain!"
Hong Yanwu shuddered on the spot, and for the first time encountered something that he didn't dare to respond.
"Don't, uncle, I'...... Thank you, you'd better let me be a mortal......"
In this way, not long after, the loudspeaker outside also announced the latest news of the village committee.
According to what Hong Yanwu said, Secretary An asked Zhaoqing to not only announce that the product was sold for 8,000 yuan in cash, but also announced the news of re-recruitment.
This is tantamount to realizing Zhaoqing's original promise to double the size of the factory ahead of schedule.
In the end, he also announced that if there was a surplus at the end of the year, he would take out a part of it to distribute dividends to the villagers.
Which one of these is not heavy news?
The villagers were boiling, the masses were excited. Old people, children, men and women couldn't help but cheer.
Everyone seemed to see the bright coins shining in front of their eyes, and everyone seemed to have a bright future prospect.
Soon, however, voices half frightened, half questioning, began to be transmitted back and forth under the loudspeaker outside the village committee office.
"Is this true? impossible, right?"
"Didn't I hear it wrong? I must have heard it wrong......
To be honest, it's no wonder that everyone reacts this way, because the reason why the poor are poor is that they have not been rewarded for their efforts for a long time.
And this time, many people just attended the conference once, and they got such wonderful news, and they all found it as mythical and unbelievable.
So in view of this situation, Secretary An, Zhaoqing and Hong Yanwu had to come forward, they came out of the house, and announced the news just reported in public again.
And this time, the oscillations caused by the confirmation of the news are no less than a storm.
The villagers shouted and laughed and cheered under the ancient elm trees as if they had won a world war.
Yes, if such a scene appears in today's film and television dramas, it will definitely give people an exaggerated feeling.
But this is indeed in line with the logic of poverty, just as the sudden arrival of millions, tens of millions, or billions of dollars can make the rich crazy, and 8,000 yuan can also make the people of a village excited in this era.
Hong Yanwu suddenly felt a little unbearable to watch it anymore, this festive scene actually made him a little sad.
reminded him of the time when he was willing to get along with livestock and poultry in order to make a little money, and he also remembered the first time he ate roast chicken, and he even put a knife in the back of his head.
He couldn't help but cast his gaze into the distance.
At this time, the sun is heading home, and it is crossing the top of the mountain.
The golden glow seemed to shine through the tomb of an emperor who reflected the entire village.
So a golden spectacle was formed, and the whole village, all the houses, all the people, even the old tree, were cast as if they were made of gold......
The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
